This is from the DVD of the race that i shot entirely with unmanned Gopro cameras with delay timers. The footage follows the race of 3 of the top crews .... NorthCliffe Open (the eventual winner) ......... Outrigger Australia Open (2nd) .............. and Mooloolaba Masters (1st Masters, 5th overall) who i paddled with.
Many changeovers are featured and techniques of the great steerers.
You will probably recognise some of the names like Danny Sheard, Pete Dorries, Travis Grant, Mike Mills -Thom etc. who have all competed and won either open or masters at the Molo Hoe.
A larger and better quality version will be upload later, this one up now is 20 mins long and a 60mb download. The video is highly compressed to limit download size. The original is HQ.
Hope you enjoy it. http://blip.tv/file/1551887

Bravo Rambo!
Our racing season is over here in Canada, and your videos keep me going through the off-season. Maybe I'll post some footage of my paddling workouts at the gym on a paddling erg. It'll have to have a pretty good soundtrack to make it look appealing!
Thanks again for the awesome video! And for all the others out there - keep those videos coming.

DUDE! That is some kewl stuff! Thanks for putting in the time to share that! The quality is great. I saw a surfer at the Eddie Aikau ceremony with a GoPro setup I think it was fixed on to the nose of his board!
